The Challenge
Long processing times and lack of transparency
With a resident population of over 410,000, Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland. Until recently, accounts payable invoices were processed manually causing lengthy processing times. The process was also non-transparent.
the solution
Digital recording and automatic accounting
During the course of the project, invoices were digitally captured, converted into a legally watertight digital format, and made available to the various city departments for further processing. After approval, such invoices will automatically be entered and archived in SAP. This ensures operative excellence in accounts payable accounting.
the result
Operational excellence
Thanks to digitization of time-consuming, manual processes, the workload has been reduced and the susceptibility to errors minimized. The accounts payable workflow now works with digital recording and automatic bookings. The solution, which can be used across a wide range of municipal administrations, thus ensures transparency, cost reductions and operational excellence – and creates more time for citizen matters.
